Hi!
Had a very nice view of the Ganymedes shadowtransit starting at 23:39 local time.I like the first bite the shadow takes on the J:s edge: I could easely see the half Ganymedes shadow on J:s surface. Exciting!I let my 8"f/6 Newt. OOUK have a rest this night and followed the whole transit with my old orange C8 (153X & 222X) and MK66 (200X & 257X)This was certanly a joy.
Earlier in the day I observed some fine prominences in my new LS35HaDX solarscope. Astronomy 24h, night& day! Great smile Pitty I have to do something for a living as well wink

Magnus,

Can you comment on how your two telescopes compared on this target?
